Using Commands Transparently*Applies to: AutoCAD R12, 13, 14, 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004 and 2005*Have you ever taking a close look at what command is being
launched at the command line when you start up new commands?
Have you ever noticed that some have an Apostrophe ( ' ) in the
front? These commands are what AutoCAD refers to as a
Transparent command. These commands can be run while other
commands are still active, like the LINE and CIRCLE commands.
Below are couple examples of how you can use these commands.

Command Line:
